AHK-Cu is a copper-binding tripeptide studied in the context of hair follicle, scalp, and skin research models.
AHK-Cu (alanine-histidine-lysine bound to copper) is a copper-binding tripeptide studied in research related to hair follicles and scalp tissue. Copper peptides are examined for potential roles in signalling associated with follicular activity, vascularization, and extracellular-matrix processes within experimental skin and hair models.
Research generally investigates effects on follicle-cell activity, growth-factor signalling, and dermal microenvironment in vitro or in cosmetic-research contexts. AHK-Cu is often studied alongside related copper peptides such as GHK-Cu, and findings remain largely preliminary.
Studied for potential signalling effects on follicular cell activity in experimental models.
Investigated for possible influence on vascularization relevant to scalp and skin research.
Examined for copper-peptide roles in matrix and dermal microenvironment processes.
Researched in cosmetic-science contexts for potential effects on skin cell activity.
Bring the vial (100 mg) and bacteriostatic water to room temperature.
Add bacteriostatic water slowly along the glass wall — the volume you add sets the concentration.
Swirl gently (do not shake) until fully clear, then refrigerate at 2–8 °C.
Studied together as complementary copper peptides in hair and skin research models.
Explored in formulations examining combined regenerative signalling on skin and follicles.

AHK-Cu is a copper-binding tripeptide (alanine-histidine-lysine) studied in hair follicle, scalp, and skin research. It belongs to the copper-peptide class investigated for signalling effects.
It is studied for potential roles in follicular cell activity, vascularization, and extracellular-matrix signalling within experimental hair and skin research models.
Both are copper peptides studied in skin and hair research. They are often compared or examined together, though AHK-Cu is specifically associated with follicle-focused research.
